MAN-PMI-MAN (TOM2606/2623) are currently showing as operated by Boeing 767-304/ER (short haul / 328 seats / winglets). You'll find extensive aircraft information on our What Aircraft? guide (link below).

Thanks a lot Darren.

I know that they have got rid of IFE now on shorthaul (apart from the PSP's), but I know I did hear a while back that the 767-300ER shorthaul aircraft were keeping IFE due to them having the seatback tv's installed. Is this still the case or is there now no IFE on these aircraft also?

Even though IFE screens are still installed on the short haul 76W's, as far as i'm aware, they aren't used for IFE.

LGW-SSH-LGW (TOM648/9) are operated by Boeing 757-200. Specific aircraft are rotated regularly, but most recent flights have been operated with First Choice aircraft (older style green leather seats). You'll find extensive aircraft information on our What Aircraft? guide (link below).

Hi all, here is another IFE related question.

Flying LGW to BVC on the 29th Feb on a Boeing 757-200, as you are aware its 6 hours+, we are aware that this is classed as short/Med haul and therefore no IFE, apart from the safety video I presume....Does the no IFE include no radio/music as well as no visual programs.
Are the PSP's plentiful and how much are they to hire as I couldn't see any mention on the Web site

Regards

Joe :cry

You can't really class the safety video as IFE, although it is quite funny! IFE means no IFE, video or audio. All the information with regards to the PSP's is in Thomsons inflight magazine (page 12). The link is on our What Aircraft? guide (link below).

Have just returned from our 3rd trip to Sharm with Thomson. On previous occasions the plane has had a reasonable seating pitch, however on this flight - a 757-200 the seating pitch was a disgrace for an over 5 hour journey.For a journey of a couple of hours it would be bad enough. Does anyone know if it worth complaining to Thomson

Thanks as always Dazbo,
Yes, classing the safety video as part of in flight entertainment was tongue in cheek so to speak and I admit it is an amusing way to grab your attention, All information that that I asked for was found within the link, so thanks for that, I think I'll take my own entertainment, it a shame that the 757-200s don't have a usb connector, so as to keep my phone (in flight mode) charged.

That's your decision really if you didn't feel you had adequate comfort for your trip. I take it you had an aircraft with the slimline Recaro (blue) seats outbound and the standard (green) seats inbound? Even though the seat pitch is the same 28 inches, the slimline design and placement of the seat pocket makes a difference on medium haul flights. The airline meets and excedes the legal minimum seat pitch for the length of flight.

Hello Holidaytruths.

RE- TOM 196/7 25/04/12 MANCHESTER/CANCUN.

According to the Thomson online seating extras which we booked today, we are flying on a B767 2-3-2 configuration to Cancun from Manchester,does this mean its an EX First Choice type or one of the ex Thomsonfly jets ?

Ex-FCA. All the details are on our What Aircraft? guide (link below).
